Best ram for an apu?

[Jonas_11]

Hi. My friend has a ASUS A68HM-PLUS, Socket-FMmotherboardapuH and an AMD Athlon X4 860K apu.He is going to upgrade his ram from 8 to 16gb. He know whatchooseTwram to choose.The problem is that this motherboard only has 2 ddr3 slots.

First an 860K isn't really an APU. It doesn't have a graphics subsystem built-in. Tight timing on RAM will be less critical since that chip doesn't have to support graphics. Get a matched (8GBx2) 1.5V set of a major brand it should be fine.

I'd look for 2x8GB 1866 or 2133, for best price to performance. DRAM voltage through 1.65 is perfectly fine
